Kevin Strootman points future away from Manchester United

Manchester United target Kevin Strootman has confirmed ‘several clubs’ are competing for his signature this summer – but none from the top six in Europe.

David Moyes is keen to bolster his midfield options for the new season, and the PSV Eindhoven man is understood to be high on his hit-list.

However, although Strootman revealed he has a host of options on the table, he indicated the Red Devils weren’t necessarily one of them.

‘There are several clubs interested, but only when they reach an agreement with PSV do I come into the picture,’ said the Dutch international.

‘This not to say that any are in the world’s top six. There is also interest from Russia, but that is not an option for me. I just do not take hasty decisions about my future.

‘Whether the club I leave for must play in the Champions League? That wasn’t the case when I moved to PSV.’

PSV’s sporting director Marcel Brands previously insisted Strootman, who has also been linked with Roma, will stay at the club for another season after having already lost Dries Mertens, Erik Pieters and Jeremain Lens.

‘We do not want to lose Strootman this summer. He knows that he will stay at PSV for another season,’ he told De Telegraaf.

‘We already expected Lens and Pieters would leave, but we didn’t plan the transfer of Mertens.’
